Intro:

TANAT is delighted to present Assemblage Pink Geisha Melon, a vibrant and expressive house blend that brings together two distinctive coffees from Bolivia and Colombia. This blend marries the elegance of a Pink Geisha from Bolivia with the lively energy of a Colombian Caturra, resulting in a cup that’s intensely fruity, floral, and refreshing. With juicy melon 🍈 and watermelon 🍉 notes balanced by delicate floral aromatics 🌸, this coffee offers a bright and addictive flavour experience for filter brews.

The Producer:

This unique assemblage blends two remarkable sources:

• Los Rodriguez in Bolivia, known for cultivating Pink Geisha, a varietal celebrated for its aromatic clarity and vibrant sweetness.

• UBA Coffee in Colombia, bringing Caturra processed with nitrogen techniques to add depth and structure to the blend.
  Together, these producers contribute their best micro‑lots to create a harmonious coffee that celebrates both terroirs and varietal strengths.

The Process:

The lot combines two innovative processing approaches:

• Pink Honey: This involves partial removal of the cherry mucilage, allowing sugars to remain on the bean for extended drying, enhancing sweetness and body.

• Nitrogen fermentation: Coffee is fermented in a nitrogen‑rich environment, which influences the development of fruity and aromatic compounds before drying. These techniques together give the assemblage both clarity and expressive fruit character, while keeping a clean and smooth profile.

The Cup:

In the cup, super juicy and engaging. Expect luscious melon 🍈 and refreshing watermelon 🍉 fruitiness up front, with lifted floral 🌸 aroma. The body is silky and smooth, with a medium acidity that keeps the profile vibrant without overwhelming the palate. A prime candidate for high clarity grinders.

Overall:

TANAT’s Assemblage Pink Geisha Melon stands out as a vibrant and balanced blend celebrating the best of both Bolivian and Colombian specialty coffees. Its fusion of fruity sweetness, floral aromatics, and elegant texture makes it a joyful and refreshing coffee that’s both expressive and approachable. Whether enjoyed as a bright filter brew or explored for its nuanced flavour layers, this blend is sure to delight fans of distinctive, fruity coffees.

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
